Samsung C49G95TSSU LED 49IN ODYSSEY

Product Information

The Samsung C49G95T (Odyssey G9) offers an incredibly immersive viewing experience thanks to its huge 49″ 5120×1440 curved screen that’s based on a VA panel with a high contrast ratio, high peak brightness, and wide color gamut. However, it’s only noticeable with fast-moving objects in really dark scenes – if you’re deliberately looking for it.

The Samsung C49G95T boasts a futuristic design with a glossy white chassis, robust build, and decent ergonomics, including up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 15° swivel, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. To set the monitor to 240Hz, you’ll first need to set it to 240Hz in the OSD menu. However, to get 240Hz at 5120×1440, you’ll need a GPU that supports DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC. The monitor also supports local dimming, but since there are only ten dimming zones spread across its gigantic 49″ sized screen, it’s not particularly effective.

Terms & Conditions

The anti-glare layer is very effective, which is good because avoiding reflections with a screen of this shape and size would be difficult. It’s still a good idea to avoid sunny windows, as they can wash out parts of the image. But it is bright enough to combat medium to bright room lighting. Without DSC, you’ll be limited to 120Hz at 5120×1440 8-bit color and 100Hz at 5120×1440 10-bit color. Price & Similar Monitors

At 240Hz, input lag amounts to only ~3ms, which results in imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen. The system menu has the rest of the monitor’s convenience options and the local dimming option. Auto works well for both SDR and HDR content and leaves brightness available so you can set the peak output anywhere you wish. Dynamic Contrast is also effective with two levels of aggressiveness. Standard leaves the brightness adjuster available, while Ultimate grays it out and displays a very bright and contrasty image.

Design & ConnectivityYou’ll also find various pre-calibrated picture modes, including FPS, RTS, RPG, AOC, sRGB, and High Bright (for maximum brightness). The pixel load was enough that ou r GeForce RTX 3090 couldn’t quite max the framerate at 240 frames per second (fps) but stayed around 200 fps, more than enough to keep action smooth. We noticed that with Adaptive-Sync on, overdrive became grayed out. We didn’t miss it though, because there were no trails behind moving objects. Motion blur was visually non-existent. We made use of the aiming points from the Game menu but missed a frame counter. FRAPS had to be engaged to monitor our play speeds. The Adaptive-Sync technology is supported, which provides a variable refresh rate (VRR) for compatible graphics cards. The Custom picture mode works well for all content if you don’t mind a little extra color saturation. sRGB is there if you need accuracy or are a purist, but with 88% coverage of DCI-P3 SDR material doesn’t look oversaturated on the G9. And you can use HDR in Windows without penalty. The brightness control remains available if you want to dial down the output, but even with brightness set to its maximum, the Windows desktop never looked too harsh.

Further, the peak brightness of 420-nits can jump up to 1,000-nits when watching HDR content, which in combination with the excellent static contrast ratio of 2,500:1, results in striking highlights and vivid details in shadows. This measure doesn’t represent an average GtG performance, but rather the fastest possible transition of one gray shade into another under specific testing conditions, so some smearing behind fast-moving objects will be noticeable. Note that you cannot enable local dimming for SDR content. You can either disable it completely or set it to ‘Auto’ which will enable local dimming whenever HDR content is detected. Of course, if the Samsung G9 had a full-array local dimming solution, it would also be significantly more expensive. Both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certifications are present while the VRR range amounts to 60-240Hz. As long as your frame rate is within this range, VRR will remove tearing and stuttering.The Samsung Odyssey G9 offers an incredible viewing and gaming experience thanks to its gigantic screen size with a steep 1000R curvature.
